June 14 marks International Bath Day, meaning it’s officially important to score a little bit of “me” time with a relaxing soak. “Baths truly are game changers and can offer great healing qualities for both the mind and body with proper planning,” says Amanda Clabaugh, treatments manager at The Lodge at Woodloch in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. But don’t just fill a tub and hop in: Check out these 10 products you need for ultimate relaxation.

Let the scent of eucalyptus clear your mind of any stressors, while spearmint works to refresh your vibes.
Wayfair Bath Pillow
If you want to truly relax, lean into a bath pillow like this bead-filled option.
